Good to be back CharredGriller. Just FYI I think about your quote every time I light my propane grill.

So do I now. I picked up a MasterChef 4-burner gasser last year as I was getting really ticked off with not being able to grill as a result of a bunch of fire bans. The price was really good, though - for $300 I got 4 burners, a really good rotisserie burner, and an infrared side/sear burner that tops out at about 850-900 fegrees F.

But I still like to fire up the chinmeys whenever I can, too.

Unlike propane, you'll never wake up scorched and naked in another county because you mishandled a bag of briquettes.

My brother surprised me with a Mission Amber Ale. Phew, folks!-- this one be a tad expensive. Comes from San Diego, CA. 5% alcohol by volume. I found it produced a wonderful foamy head with a refined bouquet, as one would expect at such a price point. I was actually surprised by how "hopsy" a flavor it had, something like some kind of pale ale. My brother really wanted to take the pic for me, so that's why it looks a little different than usual.
